Found these in a trash can set for the landfill. Does anything stand out?

I will be keeping some for personal use but want to know what to re-sell here. Thanks!

Is this Stanley#4 Salvageable?

I have experience tuning up my Stanley jack but never dealt with rust. Is this worth the $30 asking price?

Need help identifying logo/graphic/brand

Picked this old bench grinder up, runs great but would love to know what brand it is. Haven’t seen any engravings or marking just these two very worn pieces. I believe the green/white piece was part of a logo and the white one was a tag/nameplate?

Roovers Bros Inc metal embossers - T-10, T-20, and T-30?

Thought these deserved a highlight. The biggest one is a 3/4 inch tape unit (notice badge for scale), an absolute UNIT. Not sure what name it has, but I'm coining it the T-30.
The rust covered one is the T-20 AFAIK, with the small fully green black handled one being the T-10.

If there's any information I got wrong or if anyone has used these beauties before, I would love to know more about them!

Roovers got acquired by Dymo, which meant the Dymo-Mite wasn't their invention, just a rebranding of the Midgie/handheld embosser. Roovers then separated again? and started releasing their old T-10 and T-20 but modernised and less heavy.
